Oak Alley Or St. Joseph Plantation Plus Swamp Tour Combination

Join us for a unique and educational journey back to the early days of Louisiana bayou and swamp exploration at Cajun Pride Swamp Tours. Afterwards, continue on to your choice of Oak Alley or St. Joseph Plantation. Due to our swamp's location and proximity to the plantations, our combination tours offer you less travel time than most other tour companies.

1. 1

   Stop 1

   1.5 hours

   This covered swamp boat tour is done on a privately owned wildlife refuge, so what that means for our guests is that there are no other boats. We also do not allow hunting or fishing on our property. The guests will see the Manchac swamp as it is meant to be seen. The animals see the boats as part of their natural habitat, so they are unafraid to stay out in the open for our guests to see. Our boat captains will teach you about the animals that inhabit our swamp, as well as the way of life of the people that once called this swamp home.

If you select to explore Oak Alley Plantation, a National Historic Landmark, you'll take a 30-minute professionally guided tour of the "Big House” and access to the expansive grounds.

   St. Joseph & Felicity Plantation

   2 hours

   Choose from Oak Alley or St. Joseph Plantation. If you choose to Eplore St. Joseph, you'll receive a 60-minute professionally guided tour of the "Manor Home." St. Joseph Plantation is one of the few fully intact sugar plantations in the River Parishes offering a full historical timeline from the homes' construction to the present day. In addition to the Manor Home, this site features many outbuildings for guests to explore. These include original slave cabins, a detached kitchen, blacksmith’s shop, schoolhouse, and chicken coop. Several buildings have been moved to their present-day location from other parts of the property, but most remain where they were built. Visitors often recognize familiar scenes and landscapes having served as the setting for well-known films and shows like The Skeleton Key, the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave, Mudbound, Underground, Roots, and Ava DuVernay’s Queen Sugar.
